MRL Review Progress Under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 Last update: 20 July 2021 Overview of the MRL review progress under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 The current document presents the status of the Maximum Residues Levels (MRL) reviews (ongoing and upcoming) under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. In order to improve the communication with stakeholders, EFSA is publishing the detailed work programme (progress report) to allow stakeholders to better prepare and support the MRL review. The document will be updated on a quarterly basis and published on the EFSA website. This document focusses on the substances under the ‘new’ procedure agreed with Commission and Member States at the Pesticide Steering Network (PSN) meeting in June 2014 and modified at the Pesticide Steering Network meeting in November 2019 (see Art.12 MRL work instructions). All substances that were assessed under the ‘interim’ procedure have been finalised. With the new procedure EFSA starts the process by launching a call for data and coordinates the activities of the RMS, Member States (MSs) and the UK1 in collecting authorised good agricultural practices (GAPs) and residue trials. The Article 12 MRL review in parallel with renewal peer review (COMBINED assessment) procedure considers substances for which the Art.12 review has not been conducted and that are currently temporarily included in Annex IV or for which the Annex IV inclusion is pending. In order to optimise resources (for both EFSA and MSs), in agreement with EC and MSs (presented at September 2019 PAFF) EFSA is launching the GAP collection of all authorised uses in parallel to the peer review for the renewal. Once all GAPs have been collected, it can be evaluated if the data submitted to support the representative use(s) cover all authorised uses and import tolerances and thus the EFSA Conclusion could also address the Art.12 question number. This will avoid re-visiting the substance for the MRL review based on the same data package as assessed during the peer review. In case the GAP collection results in authorised GAPs that cannot be assessed based on the data submitted for renewal of a given active substance, the MRL review will not continue and will stay on hold until the renewal process is concluded. This proposal is therefore not creating unnecessary additional work for the RMS, as the only step is the GAP collection and there is no need to prepare an evaluation report. Finally, it is underlined that the work plan published as part of the June 2014 Pesticides Steering Network (PSN) minutes (Appendix B.2 and B.3 to the Minutes of the 1st meeting on the MRLs procedures) should be considered superseded by this document. When looking at the progress report, the following information should also be taken into account: Dates reported in the cells correspond to the starting and foreseen dates to complete the assessment. 1 For MRL reviews launched after 1/1/21 until 2025: ‘The United Kingdom withdrew from EU on 1 February 2020. In accordance with the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU, and in particular with the Protocol on IE/NI, the EU requirements on data reporting are also applicable to NI’. The report includes the active substances expected to be assessed under the new procedure or the combined. Completed reviews finalised under the former and the interim processes as well as finalised statements comprising of active substances that do not require a review of the existing MRLs under Art 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are not included in this report; the finalised Reasoned Opinions for these old reviews as well as the statements can be retrieved from the EFSA website. Re-prioritisation of some substances is possible and will be decided in collaboration with DG SANTE and Member States taking into account on-going or upcoming assessments under other procedures (i.e. renewal, confirmatory data following the approval). EFSA may need to await the outcome of another assessment before proceeding with the MRL review for a certain active substance (renewal of the approval, confirmatory data for the approval). Therefore, for certain substances no starting date is indicated, and it is mentioned ‘to be defined’ in the below overview table. The publication of an output is expected generally within 4 weeks from its adoption. Details on the different steps of the process are available in the Art.12 MRL work instructions. 2 Active Substance RMS Process Start of data Adoption of the collection RO (expected date) 1. alpha-Cypermethrin BE New 16/04/2021 16/04/2022 2.

The CDC bottle bioassay is used to assess resistance by comparing known insecticide diagnostic doses and diagnostic times from an insecticide-susceptible population. The objective of this study was to determine diagnostic doses and diagnostic times for α-cypermethrin and the lethal dose for 50% and 90% mortality for α- cypermethrin, permethrin, and DDT for Phlebotomus argentipes. Methods: The CDC bottle bioassays were performed in 1,000 mL glass bottles with 15- 25 sand flies from a laboratory strain of insecticide-susceptible P. argentipes. A range of concentrations of α-cypermethrin, permethrin, and DDT were evaluated.

  • 4. Chemical and Physical Information
    PYRETHRINS AND PYRETHROIDS 131 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY The naturally-occurring pyrethrins, extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, are esters of chrysanthemic acid (Pyrethrin I, Cinerin I, and Jasmolin I) and esters of pyrethric acid (Pyrethrin II, Cinerin II, and Jasmolin II). In the United States, the pyrethrum extract is standardized as 45–55% w/w total pyrethrins. The typical proportion of Pyrethrins I to II is 0.2:2.8, while the ratio of pyrethrins:cinerins:jasmolins is 71:21:7 (Tomlin 1997). Information regarding the chemical identity of the pyrethrins is presented in Table 4-1. Pyrethroids are synthetic esters derived from the naturally-occurring pyrethrins. One exception to the axiom that all pyrethroids are esters of carboxylic acids is noteworthy. There is a group of oxime ethers that exhibits insecticidal activity similar in nature to the pyrethrins and pyrethroid esters (Davies 1985). Little data exist regarding these compounds, and no commercial products have been produced. Commercially available pyrethroids include allethrin, bifenthrin, bioresmethrin, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate (fenvalerate), flucythrinate, flumethrin, fluvalinate, fenpropathrin, permethrin, phenothrin, resmethrin, tefluthrin, tetramethrin, and tralomethrin. Information regarding the chemical identity of pyrethroids is shown in Table 4-2. With the exception of deltamethrin, pyrethroids are a complex mixture of isomers rather than one single pure compound. For pyrethroids possessing the cyclopropane moiety, isomerism about the cyclopropane ring greatly influences the toxicity of these insecticides. The presence of two chiral centers in the ring results in two pairs of diastereomers. The diastereomers and their nonsuperimposable mirror images (enantiomers) are illustrated in Figure 4-1.

  • Re-Evaluation of the FQPA Safety Factor for Pyrethroids: Updated Literature and CAPHRA Program Data Review
    USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs’ Re-Evaluation of the FQPA Safety Factor for Pyrethroids: Updated Literature and CAPHRA Program Data Review July 1, 2019 Page 1 of 30 Previously, EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) used a 3X FQPA Safety Factor based on concerns for pharmacokinetic differences between adults and children (Scollon, 2011). OPP has re-evaluated the need for an FQPA Safety Factor for human health risk assessments for pyrethroid pesticides. Consistent with EPA’s 2014 Guidance for Applying Quantitative Data to Develop Data Derived Extrapolation Factors (DDEF) for Interspecies and Intraspecies Extrapolation1, the Agency considers the FQPA safety factor as having two components: with 3X assigned to pharmacokinetics (PK) and 3X to pharmacodynamic (PD) differences. The previous conclusion that the PD contribution to the FQPA factor is 1X remains the same. Based on a review of the available guideline and literature studies as well as data from the Council for the Advancement of Pyrethroid Human Risk Assessment (CAPHRA) program, the Agency concludes that the PK contribution to the FQPA factor is also 1X for adults, including women of child-bearing age, and children. Therefore, the total FQPA safety factor for pyrethroids can be reduced to 1X for all populations. 1 https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-01/documents/ddef-final.pdf Page 2 of 30 Chemical PC Code CAS No. Allethrin 004001 584-79-2 Bioallethrin 004003 28057-48-9 S-Bioallethrin 004004 28434-00-6 D-Allethrin 004005 84030-86-4 Esbiothrin 004007 84030-86-4 Bifenthrin

They have been found to be relatively safe for humans and animals. Pyrethroids are recommended for personal protection against malaria and virus Zika by the World Health Organization. Pyrethroids act on voltage-gated sodium channels, which cause an influx of sodium ions into the nerve cells and permanent depolarization. They also influence activities of enzymes, especially in nerve and liver cells. Contact of pyrethroids with the skin, digestive tract, and respiratory tract results in their penetration into the body. Due to the importance of the subject, a summary of the current state of knowledge on the toxic effects of pyrethroids was presented in the comprehensive review by Chrustek et al, published in journal Medicina. Particular attention was paid to nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, cardiotoxic, immunotoxic, neurotoxic, and behavioral effects of pyrethroids on human and animal bodies.
